About this property

Hale Kona Kai 401 - Absolute oceanfront condo with wrap around lanai

  • True and absolute top floor oceanfront condo with large wrap around veranda (balcony), affording unobstructive ocean views. The view stretches from the Kaiwi Point and the Kailua Pier to the north, all the way to Ka'awaloa Point at Kealakekua Bay to the south. Watch the sea life in the tide pools and lagoon where turtles like to swim and eat. Let the sounds of the sea lull you to sleep after your day of sightseeing or relaxing. Both bedroom and living room face the ocean where you may see dolphins all year and whales when in season. This unit is elegantly yet simply furnished, decorated, and remodeled with modern materials and easy to clean surfaces.

    POOL NOTICE: The pool will be closed from June 21 - July 2, due to exterior work being completed close to the pool area.

    AIR CONDITIONING UPDATE - January 2026
    In the late fall of 2025, the central air conditioning system at Hale Kona Kai was replaced. The HVAC equipment that services the individual condo was also inspected, with and any and all required maintenance/repairs completed. The air conditioning is in peak condition at this time.

    King bed in the master
    Queen sofa bed in living room.
    Remodeled kitchen and updated bathroom that offers shower over tub.
    Island inspired decorations and attention to details.
    Dining and chaise on the veranda.

    Beach gear: this unit comes equipped with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and a small cooler for guests use. It may or may not have some snorkel gear that was left by previous guests. We do not provide snorkel gear. Non-fitting snorkel gear takes all the fun out of snorkelling, so it is best to rent your equipment while you are here.

    Hale Kona Kai is an intimate, absolute oceanfront complex of 39 one-bedroom condominiums. Located at the edge of Kona Town, it is off the main road providing for quiet, ocean view relaxation from every unit. Located next to Royal Kona Resort, the united is very conveniently located to excellent dining. Huggo's and Don the Beachcomber's, landmark Kona restaurants, are right next door. Many other dining and entertainment options are all within easy walking distance. Honl's Beach is just south of the complex and the Kona Farmer's Market just a half mile to the north.
    The complex offers many great amenities, including an lift for easy access for everyone. On the ocean side you will find a heated salt water swimming pool and a barbeque area at the south end of the complex. Laundry machines are available on each floor.
    Each unit offers central air conditioning, assigned parking, secure high speed WIFI, cable TV.

    Oceanfront property disclaimer: We're thrilled to share that this stunning oceanfront unit offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the sparkling ocean and the beautiful reef below. During the Hawaiian winter, you might notice vibrant ocean swells and refreshing winds that truly showcase the island's lively spirit. These natural elements can create a delightful saltwater mist on the glass, which may slightly alter your view but adds to the charm of the experience. As you relax on the veranda, the high swells, strong winds, and occasional rain can bring a splash of adventure to your stay! We encourage you to embrace these wonderful aspects of island life when making your booking.

    Hale Kona Kai is a non-smoking facility, and there is no smoking allowed in any unit.

We loved seeing and hearing the ocean waves from our windows and deck! This is a top-floor end unit and we never heard any neighbors or cars. Kitchen and bathroom were generously stocked with essentials and amenities, and everything was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

This was the best-equipped kitchen we've ever stayed in, and I loved the recliner. The pillows on the bed were the too-stuffed kind, but happily we found smaller ones in the box on the closet shelf. Great to have the portable beach chairs. I'm glad we had good weather at mealtimes, because there really isn't a comfortable indoor option. Maybe a coffee table?

Great location!

Fantastic location!!! We spent every morning on the balcony watching the fish, turtles, and dolphins swim by! It's also an easy walk into town to do some shopping or grab a bite. The unit itself was great, all the emmities you need, especially the beach equipment! Would definitely stay here again!

Condo was very clean. AC worked very well. Kitchen was well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. The view on the lanai was spectacular! No bugs whatsoever in the condo. I spent 3 months researching for a great place and Hale Kona Kai delivered. The only minor drawback was there wasn’t a tv in the bedroom, but we weren’t there for watching tv in the bedroom. I thought I’d have to open the lanai door or windows to enjoy hearing the ocean at night, but even with the windows closed we enjoyed hearing the waves all night. There are several restaurants within walking distance. It was nice and quiet as well. It was well worth the money spent for this condo. I would definitely stay there again.

Amazing vacation spot!

Located close to everything with plenty to do. And when we were still, we enjoyed every second of just relaxing on the lanai and watching the waves hit the tide pools. Everything we could have needed was provided and we had the MOST comfortable bed ever. The host was very friendly and communicative.

Perfect View!

Nice, quiet condo complex just off the main road, but so easy to walk into town. The kitchen had everything you needed. Because of the small size of the living space, you need to eat out on the lanai but it is the perfect place to be. From this corner 4th floor you can watch the fish on the reef, the waves crashing on the rocks and best of all dazzling sunsets.

Location is perfect. Who doesn't love oceanfront and everything is in walking distance. Exactly what we wanted in Kona. Only negative I had was shower handle appears to need some repair. We were afraid it would fall off while we used it.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this fabulous VRBO. The condo had everything you could possibly want and was definitely in the best location of Kona! The view from the lanai is stunning and we enjoyed our daily sea aquarium. The amount of fish you can see is unbelievable. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in Kona! Owner responded quickly and timely. Thank you!

Hawaii never looked so good from this beautiful VRBO

This was my first VRBO experience and it’s going to be hard to top! Amazing views, incredibly clean and great communication with the property manager. This place made me feel right at home and is furnished with everything you would need for a stay in Kona. The layout was well thought out and it was the small touches that impressed me the most. Binoculars, flashlights, beach chairs and towels, a well appointed kitchen and what can I say about the views! Thanks Tracy and team for a magical stay.

Hawai’i Getaway

Property was as represented. Good laundry facilities on floor. Bathroom is microscopically small which you can’t really tell from the listing. It was functional but fairly annoying for a long stay. AC works but is erratic. It would go from warm to cold without us ever adjusting the temps ourselves. The lanai is worth it all though. The views could not be beat!

We really enjoyed our stay and the location of the condo could not have been better. We like to walk and did not even need a rental car. Uber was right there when we needed them and didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes at the most. Kona Reef Properties did their absolute best to help when we needed something, they were very responsive. Our air conditioning did go out for a couple of days, and they installed a small unit in our bedroom which did help. You'll see lots of fish right in the surf from the deck. The waves were huge while we were there, so very noisy, but totally exciting. The condo had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable.

This place was amazing. It has absolutely everything you need and more! AC worked beautifully when we needed it, but we mostly had windows open with the fans. It was so nice to have such loud waves to fall asleep and wake up to. The view was outstanding from the lanai, bedroom, and even the kitchen. My only small complaint (due to personal preference) was that the bed pillows were a little thick. Aside from that, it was a 10/10 experience. Loved walking to the shops and restaurants close by. Loved the reserved parking spot. Book this place!!
